Let me explain briefly. Although the protagonist of this story is a time traveler, he's not an omnipotent, overpowered protagonist like in a wish-fulfillment novel. His main mission is to gradually establish authority and leadership within the Jia family, becoming the true master of the Rongguo Mansion, and leading the Jia family to its peak amidst ups and downs.
The pacing is tense at the beginning, but it gets smoother as it goes on! There aren't many authors who dare to write about *Dream of the Red Chamber*! I hope the most outstanding dishes from the original novel will be included in this story! The delicious food described in the book would be the most beautiful dishes or desserts if made according to the book!
Time flies, and the fragrance of rouge lingers in the air. The bronze mirror reflects the faint image of someone dressing up by the window. Flowers lament the passing of autumn, but will you resent the bright moonlight?
It's not bad, just a bit too short. I finished it in less than a day; it's a short story. It's still readable.
The beginning was great, but the ending was so unexpected that it left me wanting more!
It would be better if the historical background of Emperor Kangxi didn't appear, since the world of Dream of the Red Chamber is not set in the Qing Dynasty.
It's okay so far, but the writing needs to be somewhat enjoyable, not too passive, especially within the world of *Dream of the Red Chamber*. If the author wants to seize power and eliminate the Jia family's malignant elements, they should just kill them off instead of trying to moralize them; after all, it's a time-travel story, so what emotional connection is there? Keep it up!
The plot is alright. Ke Qing's suicide is the way she died in the original text, but it's not good that there's already a ready-made military figure like Feng Ziying instead of writing about Nian Gengyao.
I actually wanted to give it four and a half stars. But it didn't. The ending was too much of a letdown; the beginning was quite good.
It's quite good; I read the latest chapter in one go, but the updates are indeed a bit slow. Also, I felt it was jarring to use Zhang Zhuo instead of Jia Lian in the story; this modern name feels a bit out of place in the classically styled Dream of the Red Chamber.
